MINUTIAE, by ELIZABETH LEE First Line: Move out upon a gorgeous star Last Line: Not faintly, not by chance! | |||
Move out upon a gorgeous star, Permit your eyes return, Look down on townships where you were On lights that bead and burn. And look straight down on the shaking sea Crashing over slate And see on fire and distantly The Pacific fluctuate -- And wonder in that palm of space How man outdistanced ants, Revolving in the little place Not faintly, not by chance! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VISIONARY by EMILY JANE BRONTE NEEDLESS FEAR by EMILY DICKINSON SONNET ON SITTING DOWN TO READ KING LEAR ONCE AGAIN by JOHN KEATS THE WHITE HOUSE by CLAUDE MCKAY KATHLEEN O'MORE by GEORGE NUGENT REYNOLDS CRADLE SONG (TO A TUNE OF BLAKE'S): 2 by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE HYMN FOR ALL SAINTS DAY IN THE MORNING by HENRY ALFORD |
